Thanks for listening!
Awww, I was hoping for the tab of the double harmonic piece.
Great conversation!
If you get a hold of Davey he may have it! https://michiganbanjo.com/
What was the blues piece played at the 10 minute mark?
I’m pretty sure it was a blues written by Davey’s former teacher Vince Sadovsky, but you can contact him through http://www.michiganbanjo.com to ask him directly!
